A service flag may be written as `{{ '<role>' in group_names }}`; 114
meta/services.yml files do exactly that, and it is the only host-dependent
variable any of them uses. The rendered payload therefore differs per host
while the cache key did not: it was built from applications, users,
DOMAIN_PRIMARY and SYSTEM_EMAIL_DOMAIN alone, and in the failing job all
five host_vars files were byte-identical.
113113e553 moved the render out of every task on the premise that Ansible
forks a fresh worker per task, so the in-process cache is always cold. That
holds for workers and not for the strategy's main process, which renders a
task's name once for the first host of a batch. Anything cached there is
inherited by every worker forked afterwards, and applications.py consults
that process cache before the host's own carrier fact, so an inherited
entry outranks the correct answer.
Pretix#2 of run 35152776835 shows both sides in one task: `skipping:
[web-app-pretix-swarm-mgr-01]` against `included: dedicated.yml for
wrk-01, wrk-02`, eleven seconds before mgr-01 resolved its database to
`pretix_database`. The swarm was running the central `postgres_postgres`,
so the wait never converged and the job died after 600 attempts. Variants 0
and 1 pin the flag to a literal and both pass; only variant 2 inherits the
Jinja.
The groups join the key as a sorted comma-joined string rather than a
tuple, because carrier.py stringifies only one side of its key comparison.
A non-scalar component would make the carrier silently stop matching and
every lookup re-render.
domains derives from the applications view and inherits the same
dependency, so this closes a second instance that had not surfaced yet.
users reads group_names nowhere. No extra rendering results: group_names is
constant inside a worker, and the one process that sees several hosts is
the one the split is for.

Every script a role ships now lives under `files/<language>/`, and the unit
suite is split the same way: `tests/unit/python/` beside new sibling trees for
the other languages. `tests/lint/filesystem/test_role_files_layout.py` keeps it
that way; directories whose shape is dictated from outside carry a `.nocheck`
naming the constraint (Docker build contexts, WordPress mu-plugins, the Joomla
extension, Odoo addons, Playwright suites, the `files/test/test.sh` harness
that `test-e2e-cli` resolves generically).
This cannot be applied in halves. Moving a file and repointing what names it
are the same change: 14 references resolve only at deploy time, so the tree is
green either before or after, never between.
Those 14 were found by static resolution over every reference class, not by the
test suite -- a full `make quality-high` was green while all of them were
broken:
* 7 `src:` values built from a role variable holding a bare filename
(svc-bkp-remote-2-local, decidim, espocrm, friendica, joomla, pixelfed x2).
The variable doubles as the destination name inside the container, so the
language segment belongs at the call site, not in the variable.
* `sys-service/tasks/04_base.yml` resolved every consumer's systemd script
through `first_found(..., errors='strict')` over `files/script.{sh,py}`.
18 roles ship exactly that and have no template fallback: the play would
have died on each.
* `sys-front-inj-javascript` fell back to `<role>/files/javascript.js`; the
interface now reads `files/javascript/javascript.js`.
* `sys-front-inj-logout/templates/head_sub.j2` built the cache-busting mtime
path through `path_absolute(... 'files', ...)`.
* 4 `ansible.builtin.script:` invocations naming a bare command
(pull.py, prune.sh, set_postgres_superuser_password.sh, ganesha-serve.sh).
* `dev-python/files/shell/install.sh` pointed at a sibling role's script.
Depth-dependent paths inside the moved trees were bumped accordingly: 59
`parents[N]` computations, 12 relative climbs, and the per-role recover CLI,
whose path `cli/administration/recover/recoverers.py` still assembled from the
pre-move location.
